teeth are expensive
David, I have another Campaign for you. The Take the Tooth Fairy to the ACA campaign.
No, seriously. She's ripping us off something major.
1. She doesn't price fairly. Some customers she pays dollars per tooth- others, cents. The discrepancies cannot be explained away by size or tooth quality. I happen to know my teeth were freeking enourmous, and i only ever recieved two dollars maximum- and my last lot of baby teeth, removed in the chair at 16, earnt me nothing! nothing! whereas my brother, then 13, earnt two dollars for each forcible tooth removal. My first baby teeth earnt me twenty cents apiece- friends with teeth obviously inferior, since they fell out earlier, recived dollars from the day dot!
2. Even at her most generous, she doesn't pay a fair price for teeth. No really. Consider the time we put into growing these teeth, and the vast sums which go into maintaining them until such time as she deigns to purchase them from us. I paid- or rather, my mother paid- two hundred dollars for my dentist visit today. Childhood denist visits ranged between thirty and seventy dollars a pop- twice a year. Is a measly two dollars fair renumeration for our product, viz, teeth? I think not. The Tooth Fairy is swindling us something shocking.
3. What's more, she's unrelaible and unpunctual. Sometimes we'd wait days for her to remove our teeth, and then not so much as an apology note! Whether or my mother may have neglected to unlock the top balcony door is irrelevant. That's hardly an excuse, she's a magical creature for heaven's sake!

(I once wrote to complain, and asked for more per tooth. I can't remember the amount - perhaps a dollar. Anyway, I got a letter back telling me not to be so greedy! The cheek!)

But I totally agree!! The Tooth Fairy needs to get her/his (you never know :P) act together.

The Midnight Spider is a whore for hot chocolate.

Though a whore for the hot chocolate, the Midnight Spider rarely purchases said beverage on campus, preference being to make one's own hot chocolate at home.
Also, the Midnight Spider does not know the location of this fabled Ralph's...
no subject
Ralph's Cafe is in the Arena Sports building. Non-union and somewhat overpriced, but when they're good they're very very good.

Holme sounds fine, as long as I can, you know, find it :D Is it that little courtyardy bit behind the Footbridge Cafe/Shop thingy?
And, just in case there are any problems and I don't show on time (give me about 5 to cross campus though), my mobile number is zero four zero seven four six four four two nine.
no subject
and that's a nice mobile number. quite useless as my mobile took an adventure in Darling Harbour last week ;)

Oh no! Did it go for a swim and never come back?
